Walt Giersbach salutes 'Chalk Circle Man'; what are YOU reading?

Walt Giersbach, Manchester: "The Chalk Circle Man" by Fred Vargas; "a touch of Lt. Columbo with a bit of Gallic whim. Innocuous sidewalk chalk drawings lead to one encircling a woman with a slashed throat. Then more circles and bodies sprawl on Paris sidewalks. Now forget plot. Vargas' first novel is character-driven. Plot is at best a skeleton on which to drape a body, but you'll keep biting your nails as the story unfolds. Mme. Vargas' (yes, she's a French woman), I lift my glass and salute you!"
